Short Notes and Letters From Our

Severity Of judgment is characteristic
OF the absence OF moral worth. The
jaundice 10 reflected In every object.
Many writer has insisted that man
should look on fellow-man with BROTH
er's eye, and should be yet kinder to the
faults Of sister woman.
The teachers OF San Antonio, as q
rule, are models OF courtesy and pleas
ant bearing. The few Of our acquaint.
anoe number some most genial spirits.
"a little learning is dangerous
thing" has Its application In Its true
meaning to the chimerical effort now
making in our state for tinseled imita-
tions OF scholarship In public schools.
Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, the
great orators OF the west, and the Illus
triOus John Marshall, that greatest Of
jurists, were OF limited and slender
scholastic attachments.
The nights are perceptibly lengthen-
ing. AS coming events cast their shad-
ows before, so autumn begins to show
signs, though but slightly noticed, of its
certain approach.
IL Is CURIOUS 10 see III Wudt uihcISnt
senses the same word Is often used.
Commencement, In the college sense, Is
the time when students commence to be
bachelors; not when they begin TO be
unmarried, but begin TO be persons who
have taken the first degree In the lib
eral arts and sciences.
A taste for mental improvement is as
ISOLATED with respect for the feelings OF
others. Your genuine bOor has no just
experience OF the pleasures OF the i'm
aginatiOn and the reason In sound men,
tai acquisitions. Sach things lift the
mind above taste for low personalities
or mean thrusts at the down-trodden.
Too much mere cumbrous book learn
ing is not the best for knowledge or sue
cess In the battle Of life. The develop
ment of the faculties in keen Obserya-
tion and penetrstio" and independent
action are desiderate not to be left out OF
sight for heaps Of learned rubbish.

fell from the boat into the river. As the
water was not deep she waded ashore,
and only suffered by the ducking.

There Is farmer living at Leon
Springs who has an eight feet deep well,
which during the drouth has gone dry,
and rather than dig down and strike
deeper vein, hauls water by the barrel
distance Of is miles. This Is the kind Of
enterprise that makes Yankee mad
when he hears OF 1t.
The Arkansas Pass railway has Or
dered large well dug on their reserva-

Of 40 feet, and 1t Is thought that in about
ten feet more vein Of splendid water
will be struck. The water In the Leon
creek is so filthy and putrid that those
who drink IL are seized with fever, and
good water is hauled from a long dis

Peculiar Divorce Case.

Mrs. Madelane FaucOn has filed Pc
titIon in the district court asking for a
divorce from her husband, Eugene Fau-
con. In her petition she alleges that
she was married to FauoOn in Paris,
France, in 1886; some time afterwards
her husband left her and came TO Amer
lea. In 1850 she went in search Of him
and found him in New Orleans. There
they resumed cohsbitation and then
came here In 1854, since which time they
have lived here. She now claims that
he has been guilty Of desertion, cruelty
and excuses, on which ground she asks
divorce. Only one child, now aged 46
and married, was the issue Of this mar
rage.

Another Victim Of Tobin.

John TObin, alias Tom Smith, who is
now serving out his fine of $50 In jail,
will be taken before the grand jury and
be Investigated as to his guilt or inno-
cence of rObbing the Adams house, and
attempted robbery of the Mahncke hotel.
Perhaps another charge will need look
ing after, also, that Of robbery of several
Of the guests of the Swiss House, on
SOledad street, who were robbed about
the time Tobin stopped there in COM
pany with Mexican woman whom he
passed of for his wife. He has been
identified as the man, but the woman,
undoubtedly his confederate, can not be
found.

look at the gentleman now and see if he
Is not the man who went through
